It is considered by many that the actions of the Jedi committed a decade ago are still some of the most heinous and unforgivable in the history of the galaxy. Now, the Jedi’s choice to seemingly withhold a cure to the plague, that resulted in the deaths of countless people, is the focal point of director Tospol Picar’s latest holofim.

The celebrated director, known for his unmoderated and sometimes controversial style has come under fire from some critics for focusing on a topic still fresh for so many in the galaxy. However, if history is anything to go by, Picar will push ahead with his project.

The film is still in the scripting phase, but fully expect up-and-coming Togruta superstar Meritut Detta to portray then Jedi Padawan Wrennin Vae, notable for his address to the Senate.

With the Jedi looking to rebuild their strength and credibility within the Galaxy, how will such a film portray them?

347.04 // The Telosian Council’s Defence Against the Imperium

Today the Telosian military fended off a third invasion attempt by the Imperium. Commentators have described this to be a direct response to the recent announcement of the Telosian Council, the primary governing body of Telos IV, that has vowed to launch a ‘forward defense’ against the advances of the Imperium, committing to liberate neighboring and regional planets of the One Sith’s rule.

The new policy initiative released along with the announcement included plans to support rebellions fighting against the Imperium, with ‘relief’ packages designed to arm rebel groups and the deployment of Telosian land troops to key regions.

As Telos IV is not a part of the Republic, there has been no official request by the Telosian Council for Republic assistance. However, Republic officials today have hinted at plans to lend some form of assistance for Telos’ efforts against their common enemy.

Yesterday evening The Rancors scored a surprising 5:4 in an breath-taking game of Huttball against the Feisty Mynocks, held at the New Vertica’s infamous pit-stadium.

The game was as exciting as ever, with a twist that will certainly make its way into the pages of sport history. In the very last second, Kissan Vesir of The Rancors brought the ball to his team’s camp and determined the outcome of the game.

The crowd went wild as did his team and with these events Kissan is slowly becoming a fan-favorite, appearing all over the Nar Shaddaa Holonews and beyond. Our reporter, Elia Tay-na, managed to catch Kissan after this critical match for both the team and their fans.

“How did you manage to provide this most surprising victory for your team?”

“My teammates say it all had to do with luck and timing, but I say my instincts were ones that were at work. So, maybe I am one of those crazy robed monks, who knows?”

Reports all over the moon, have indicated that clubs and bars have all been filled in the following couple of days. It seems that Nar Shaddaa is not yet over with celebrating this moment of sporting victory and history.

346.29 // Imperium on Jondora

Ripples have been felt across the Greater Plooriod System in recent days following the revelation of Imperium support and endorsement on Jondora.

At the beginning of the cycle, the Jondoran planetary council voted on the course of action for the planet, settling on remaining within the Republic in a 55-45 split. Local reports indicate raucous outrage from several City Councillors and a few isolated incidents of rioting in the cities of Klio, Ivorin and Doorne following the decision.

Following a standard diplomatic encounter earlier this cycle, the involvement with the Imperium came to light, with evidence of branded supplies and troops in several regions across the planet. Many of the accused Councillors involved immediately stepped down and their positions remain empty.

In a statement today, the Jondoran Council announced that it will decide the matter internally and asks the Republic Senate to not escalate the situation into starting a direct conflict in their territory.

The Republic has officially declared the Imperium forces on Moltok defeated after the destruction of one of the Sith’s key military strongholds. While Imperium ships were detected fleeing the system, officials are still counting this as a major blow to the enemy.

The Republic has confirmed all prisoners in the stronghold were evacuated before it was destroyed, revealing that the Imperium base on the planet also acted as a prisoner of war camp. The Republic is currently amid processing all those rescued and returning them to their loved ones or home worlds.

Republic officials have thanked intelligence provided by the Jedi Order for the success of the operation. The intelligence was said to include a full and comprehensive read-out of the stronghold, which proved essential.

The news of this defeat on Moltok comes after a series of retreats made by the Imperium in the Kwymar sector. This shows that the Republic is slowly regaining territory.
